I haven't even attempted to sell anything I've collected, and 90% of it is from Jeffco open space. I'm ignorant here, and can't get to the case details without paying: Docket Alarm
I have so many questions about this. Chiefly, would someone come after me if I sell my Clear Creek gold? Was he on federal property not open to mineral exploration? Was he on a valid mining claim? If so, why isn't the claim owner going after treble the stolen values? Is that a civil court matter pending separately? Say you've found a spot to prospect, but haven't claimed it yet; is it illegal to sell values from that location? Do you need a business license, or is there a threshold where you need one? I know some folks have LLCs....is what you use to sell values? Does it offer other protections in this regard? So many questions here....I need a seminar. -------------------- Lifetime Member
